I'm not trying to fit into any particular style, just produce something I feel like drinking right now. I want a pale ale with slightly toasty/biscuity and honey flavors (not overtly sweet, though). I was going to bitter with warrior (IBU:OG ~0.5) and finish with columbus and centennial or cascade, and likely ferment with 002 (I get ~80% attenuation with this strain, so I don't think it'll finish all that sweet). I'm aiming for an OG of ~1.055-1.060.
I was thinking 82.5% pale 2-row, 10% victory, 5% honey malt, 2.5% wheat.
My question is, what would 10% victory be like in a fairly simple grist? I've only used it once, in a bitter with a lot of C-40 and C-120, so I don't really know what to expect here with only 5% honey malt alongside.
I might drop the honey malt down a bit, but I like how well it plays with hop flavors.
Thanks for any feedback,
Todd
